I propose to take Questions Nos. 117 and 118 together.

I propose to take PQs 31807/22 and 31808/22 together.

The operation of the National Car Testing Service, including the allocation and deployment of its resources, is the statutory responsibility of the Road Safety Authority. I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct reply.

I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
